Welcome!

Welcome to my e-Portfolio! As an extension of my curriculumvitae (CV) , this website is to serve as an online narrative that contextualizes all aspects of my CV . I hope it will help you get a better understanding of how I view and engage in teaching, student learning, and research in engineering, specifically chemical engineering.

I am originally from Sewell, New Jersey (USA). I attended Saint Joseph's Preparatory School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA). While at Saint Joseph's Prep, I rowed as a lightweight oarsman and had the privilege of winning the National Championship in the Lightweight Eight category my junior and senior years. I decided not to travel far and attended college in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA) at Drexel University where I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering in 2008. While attending Drexel University, I was still very active in the sport of crew but as a volunteer rower at the Philadelphia Rowing Program for the Disabled (PRPD). Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware, specifically in the area of bio-based polymers and composites. My hobbies includes road biking, mountain biking, running, soccer, golfing, intramural basketball and softball, hunting, reading, and spending time with my cats.
